The Zwinger Palace now houses the State of Saxony's very impressive art and porcelain collections. The museum is very professionally presented with the two main collections in separate buildings (there is a third collection but I didn't visit that).

Would be even more beautiful in the late spring when it's actually warm and in the summer! Worth a trip, nevertheless.
